About The
Highlands
The Highlands, located between Rockford Park and Trolley Square, is a historic and residential Wilmington neighborhood with leafy streets and stately architecture. The character concentrates around the Delaware Avenue corridor near the Trolley Square roundabout, where sidewalk cafes, independent boutiques, and corner bars set a steady, social pace. Landmark Victorian and Colonial Revival homes mix with brick twins and small apartment buildings, giving the blocks a layered streetscape. Rockford Park’s rolling lawns and the Rockford Tower add a scenic edge for walks and skyline views. Brew HaHa! and the Grand Opera House serve as cultural touchpoints nearby, with The Queen adding a late-night marquee glow. A compact street grid and mature trees keep the atmosphere polished and lived-in.
